Kori's positions on things are quite unique. Interestingly enough, I'm certain he can find consistency in that. As for me, it always comes down to what helps the individual AND society both. Which is more important depends on the situation.

This is what I hate about politics the most, it turns people in snobbish egotistical self righteous dicks who allow their political beliefs, partisan attitudes, and 'us vs. them' mentality, to force them to deny reality.

The true fact of the matter is, if society refuses to take care of themselves, you end up between a rock and a hard place. If society refuses to change, and continues down this gluttenous, greedy and quite frankly self destructive path, what solutions can there be? The obesity crisis shows no signs of stopping or curbing... what can we do?

Now believe me, I'm certainly not in favour of approaches from either extreme side of the spectrum... one, is to let people just carry on as usual, and the other extreme is state mandated diet.

I do not support either of these, but Korimir does have a good point unfortunately, at the end of the day, it is a viable solution, just one that has enourmous potential for abuse, but no more so then handing over out entire food supply to private industry, which in the last 50 years has ****ed us over big time. If you knew how your food was made, and proccessed and the chemicals in it, you'd never ever ever eat again.

No Harm No Foul, perhaps doesn't go far enough, and if results aren't seen in the future, Korimirs solution may be the only one we have left.

Why is everything a crisis to those on the left? "Never let a good crisis to waste, so you can do things you never were able to do before?" or maybe if you don't have a good crisis then manufacture one so you can further your agenda?

This post is ironic considering Palin's comments and many of the distortions we've seen from those on the right in this thread.

Re: Palin's reckless views on obesity

Exposure of things like this will hopefully help the less extreme conservatives from seeing the absurdity of the more extreme, hackish members of their political persuasion.

Please explain extreme to me as it involves this topic.
Then please tell me some things in general that make conservatism extreme.
People keep throwing that word around and I don't know what they are talking about.

Conservatives aren't extreme. Neither are liberals. Either side CAN be extreme depending on the presentation and the issue.
